AUSTIN YACHT CLUB TELLTALE May 2020 Riding Out the Storm of Covid-19 Message from the Commodore As we enter another month of FEATURED FLEETS: C22, SC-21 lockdown, the Board and Staff of the Club are keeping a close eye on the situation and the recommendations coming from the State, County and City levels. We have asked Vice Commodore Diane Covert to convene an advisory board of Club members with appropriate professional expertise to guide and advise us as we navigate reopening. Please see her article with the details in this Telltale! April and early May have teased us with some beautiful weather, making this even harder. I have been out to the Club myself to do some boat work, including restoring my neglected Catalina 22. There have been many members out enjoying their boats while exercising the appropriate social Opening Day 2020, C22s and SC-21s Photo by Cheryl Pervier distancing and use of face coverings.

ORTIZ When Eli was four years old, we traveled to Corpus Christi. All day he bugged me to go to the Bayfront to see the boats, so I finally gave in. He was fascinated by the sailboats, turned to me and said, “Mom, I am going to sail one of those one day.” I laughed and nodded, but I had serious doubts. No one in our family had ever sailed, or even been on a sailboat. But I had always told him to dream big so I let him believe. Little did I know he would not only fulfill that dream, but it would become a passion that would shape his entire future. Eli was 10 when he took part in his first sail; he was a little late to the sport but he took to it quickly and he fell in love. Since then, he has sailed in countless regattas and on a variety of boats. He went from heavy winds as part of the Corpus Christi Sailing Team to shifty winds of Lake Travis, and was adopted by the Austin Roadrunners. He earned his Sailing 1 Instructor certification and helped teach sailing to countless kids. He made friends that have stayed with him since the beginning and, I am sure, will continue to stay with him long into his future. Now, Eli is taking his sailing experience to the next level. At the end of this month, he will graduate from Vista Ridge High School where he earned the Ranger Star Award and the Navy JROTC Fleet Reserve Association Spirit of Americanism Award. In August, Eli will report to the Recruit Training Command Great Lakes Center in Illinois as a Navy recruit to become a Fire Controller. This position will require that he be at sea for six months at a time and entails calibrating and Eli C. Ortiz maintaining his ship’s fire systems. Once he graduates from Basic Training, he will be a E3 Seaman. 209 Wagontrain Circle Copperas Cove, Texas 76522 To say that our family is proud of him would be a vast understatement and we are excited to see to how far he goes. As he begins this new journey, he will be missed; however, he has reminded me on countless occasions that AYC will always be his home away from home and he plans to return to sail and to teach future sailors whenever he can. Eli and our family would like to thank everyone at AYC and on the Roadrunner team for accepting, guiding, and loving him throughout his sailing career. It has helped shape and build him into a fantastic young man. Many thanks! ETHAN FROELICH Ethan will graduate from Sterling Classical School, summa cum laude, with 34 college credits achieved. Sterling has kept Ethan centered and grounded through its Christ-centered approach to all that encompasses life. The school and Austin Yacht Club have always supported his desire to compete at sailing’s highest level around the world, and this has allowed him to discover that true independence is earned by solving his own challenges of balancing academics and his passion for sailing. Ethan is both analytical and adventurous, patient and energetic, and has been taught how to manage his academics and to work for his regatta entry fees so he can spend an absurd amount of time on the water. Although recent events have cancelled all the 2020 sailing regattas, he departs from his high school sailing career as the USA National Champion in the I420 and sixth in the world. Ethan will attend the University of Texas with a Major in Geosystems Engineering and Hydrogeology.

Quick Reference Page 14 Contact [email protected] with questions or comments. **pre-Doyle Mainsail (2013)** I. Crew: At the most basic, you cannot get around the racecourse without a crew. At the highest level of the sport where everyone has the best equipment, crew contribution is the deciding factor. Developing and maintaining an enthusiastic, competent, reliable, and compatible crew is therefore a key area of focus for the racer aspiring to excellent results. Prior to the Class Championship you should have your crew set up, with assigned positions and job responsibilities – well trained in tacking, jibing, roundings and starts. The following may help you set up your program to attract good crew. First, good sailors want to do well. So do everything you can to make sure that you understand how to make the boat go fast and do everything you can to ensure that your boat is in good racing condition (more on these two issues later). If you are a helmsman make sure that your driving skills are developed to your best abilities. Assemble sailors who are better than you or find an enthusiastic non-sailor to train and encourage. Arrange practice time either pre/post-race or on a non-racing day. The right type of crew personality will want to improve performance and the best way to do this is to spend time together in the boat. If your crew does not wish to make the effort to spend time in the boat, cast a wider net.

    I Feel the Need…

    44 AUSTRALIAN SAILING AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2017 MYSAILING.COM.AU 45 SPORTSBOATS BETH MORLEY SPORTSAILINGPHOTOGRAPHY.COM SPORTS BOATS I FEEL THE NEED… ANDREW YORK LOOKS AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPORTSBOATS AND HOW THEY NEED TO BE SAILED IT was in the early years of this century that sports boats broke away from their trailer-sailer forebears. A more competitive group of owners started adding sail area and stripping out accommodation from their boats. Most people’s perception of a sports boat is a trailerable sailing boat with masses of sail area. While this was the genesis of sports boats there has been a gradual change. It became evident that sports boats needed to form their own separate group. ASBA was founded in 2007 by Cameron Rae, Mark Roberts and Richard Parkes. They wanted a more scientific handicapping system than had been employed in the past. In 2008 the Sportsboat Measurement System (SMS) was put in place by a body independent to ASBA. It was created by the same people who formulated the Australian Measurement System (AMS) in 1997. Sports boat racing has flourished across Australia under the ASBA banner, with the SMS rule encouraging high performance designs without the penalties that existed under other systems. Large asymmetrical spinnakers, in particular, are not penalised as harshly in the rating as the working sail area is, so that is why you see the sports boats with clouds of sails downwind. In Australia sports boats are defined as being between 5.8m and 8.5m in length and no more than 3.5m wide including hiking racks.
  • The Safety Position Is a Standard Basic Small Boat Sailing Technique

    The Safety Position Is a Standard Basic Small Boat Sailing Technique

    SAFETY POSITION Paul Tara, 2014 Definition: The Safety Position is a standard basic small boat sailing technique. It occurs when a boat is borne off onto a close reach, stopped or moving slowly, with the sail eased and luffing. The Safety Position is used to minimize speed while maintaining control. Physics: In the Safety Position, the boat is more or less in equilibrium. Because she is on a close reach, she is out of the “no go zone” where control decreases. Easing the sail reduces speed and heeling force. It also moves the center of effort of the sail plan forward, decreasing weather helm. Control is maintained because the boat is almost stopped, but still in balance, requiring only very small changes in rudder angle and sheet tension to maintain the same relative wind angle. The Safety Position is not, as many believe, when a boat is luffing, headed straight upwind. Such a boat is in disequilibrium. It will eventually stop. Then it will begin making sternway, often with unpredictable consequences. Guidelines: • Beginners are often told to “let go of everything” if things get out of control. This may avert an initial capsize but is not “safe”, especially in close quarters. The boat will immediately go into a series of uncontrolled round-ups and accidental tacks. • After a near capsize, or whenever needing to maximize control, the boat should be deliberately steered onto a close reach and the sail eased until it is luffing. • In breeze, ease the vang and raise the board halfway. This will help the boat settle down.

    Neil Pryde Sails International 1681 Barnum Avenue Stratford, CT 06614 203-375-2626 [email protected] INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND TECHNICAL OFFICE Mainsail Trim Pointers, Reefing and Sail Care for the Beneteau Oceanis Series The following points on mainsail trim apply both to the Furling and Classic mainsails we produce for Beneteau USA and the Oceanis Line of boats. In sailing the boats we can offer these general ideas and observations that will apply to the 311’s through to the newest B49. Mainsail trim falls into two categories, upwind and downwind. MAINSAIL TRIM: The following points on mainsail trim apply both to the Furling and Classic mainsail, as the concepts are the same. Mainsail trim falls into two categories, upwind and downwind. Upwind 1. Upwind in up to about 8 knots true wind the traveler can be brought to weather of centerline. This ensures that the boom will be close centerline and the leech of the sail in a powerful upwind mode. 2. The outhaul should be eased 2” / 50mm at the stopper, easing the foot of the mainsail away from the boom about 8”/200mm 3. Mainsheet tension should be tight enough to have the uppermost tell tail on the leech streaming aft about 50% of the time in the 7- 12 true wind range. For those with furling mainsails the action of furling and unfurling the sail can play havoc with keeping the telltales on the sail and you may need to replace them from time to time. Mainsail outhaul eased for light air upwind trim You will find that the upper tell tail will stall and fold over to the weather side of the sail about 50% of the time in 7-12 knots.

The following features are built into this headsail: • The genoa sheets in front of the spreaders and shrouds for optimal sheeting angle and upwind performance • The size is optimized to sheet correctly to the factory track when fully deployed and when reefed. • Reef ‘buffer’ patches are fitted at both head and tack, which are designed to distribute the loads on the sail when reefed. • Reefing marks located on the starboard side of the tack buffer patch provide a visual mark for setting up pre-determined reefing locations. These are located 508mm/1’-8” and 1040mm / 3’-5” aft of the tack. • A telltale ‘window’ at the leading edge of the sail located about 14% of the luff length above the tack of the sail and is designed to allow the helmsperson to easily see the wind flowing around the leading edge of the sail when sailing upwind and close-hauled. The tell-tales are red and green, so that one can quickly identify the leeward and weather telltales.
